Be consistent

  • Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
  • Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.

Maintenance, etc.

Immediate attention

  • State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.
  • False choice into False dilemma: discuss whether you are for or against this merge here
  • Clarify references in Atheism using footnotes.
  • Secular movement defines it as a being restricted to America in the 21st century.

NPOV

This seems to be a catchall category that reflects people holding to very different perspectives and views. Combining these viewpoints into a single category is not a neutral point of view. It reflects the political desires of some rather than the perspectives of those who self identify in these thought traditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.103 (talk) 21:18, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More likely you just don't want to accept the fact that the most religious countries are also the absolute bottom of the barrel on the HDI lists. --||bass (talk) 00:52, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do accept that ... the problem is that spiritualist and an agnostic are not the same category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.103 (talk) 23:59, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, and this article seems to be based on reliable sources, you will have elaborate precisely what it is that you are unhappy about concerning this article. --Saddhiyama (talk) 00:35, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The press is very basic: the creation of a "catch-all" category that does not reflect the diversity of its components; that is a precise problem, isn't it?. This is not about sources, it is about definitions. Note that I had no objection to the arguments raised by Mmxbass. And given the recent discussion elsewhere, I have nothing further to add Saddhiyama. Good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.126 (talk) 23:47, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Polls

This article takes in consideration just three polls, there are many more, sometimes made by local institutes or by census and thus are more accurate, these should by included too. --DrkFrdric (talk) 16:39, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please correct a small mistake

Under the title 'By population' the country Estonia is listed twice. Maybe these two entries 'Estonia 657,580' and 'Estonia 147,620' should be merged, or maybe one of them should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Termgrauzis (talk • contribs) 10:53, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One of these things doesn't belong

"(encompassing atheism, agnosticism, ignosticism, antireligion, skepticism, freethought, antitheism, apatheism, non-belief, secular humanism, or deism)" apparent attempt to force somekinda "spiritual not religious" into a series which is otherwise uniformly a rejection of that. Great to see the Dentsu result, refutes idiots who apparently seem to think Chinese "just have to be religious some way". When I explain that literate Chinese ceased to believe these things in European classical times it's like they just can't grasp it. 72.228.190.243 (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Are you actually suggesting a change to this article or not? -- Fyrefly (talk) 04:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, i.e. remove "deism" from the list of things with which it is inconsistent. 72.228.190.243 (talk) 06:18, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
